Our mission, vision & values

CareDogs envisions a future where loneliness and social isolation have been solved by better community connections, companionship and getting outdoors more in our local area

Our values

Community

We believe meaningful connections are the key to tackling loneliness. By bringing people together locally, we help communities grow stronger, kinder, and more connected.

Cheerfulness

There’s something about being around dogs that lifts our spirits. We carry that joy into every walk, conversation, and connection, sharing smiles wherever we go.

Companionship

Whether it's a one-to-one walk or a group event, we see the transformative power of companionship every day.
Life is better when shared.

Our Mission & Vision

Being around dogs has many benefits, from increasing emotional wellbeing to lowering the risks of health problems, which is why we want to bring canine companionship to all older people in our local communities! 

Our mission at CareDogs is threefold:

  1. Tackle loneliness and social isolation one dog walk at a time via our befriending service

  2. Provide local volunteering opportunities for people and their dogs 

  3. Host community dog-walking events in partnership with neighbouring charities and organisations to get more people out walking and talking

Our approach

We find friendly volunteers looking to do good in their local community with their dogs.

Step
02.

We pair these volunteers (and their dogs) with our clients for regular visits and walks.

Step
03.

We encourage users to become active members in their local area through our scommunity events.
